Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

The eyes of everyone present were slightly red, and their hearts were filled with a burning, surging passion.

Xiang Mingyu couldn't help but wipe his eyes: "It's so good, but Little Chen and Little Ke..."

When Emperor Yongshun Xiang Chen and Princess Yongle passed away, they were so young, they couldn't even come back to see the prosperous Shenzhou today.

He Jia didn't know what happened after his death, but during these few days since his return, he witnessed the three hundred years that followed his demise.

Although Xiang Chen and Xiang Ke weren't full siblings of his, they were the younger brother and sister he watched grow up.

They were more than a decade younger than him, almost two generations apart.

He Jia still remembered when Xiang Chen ascended the throne at the age of ten, he was somewhat reserved, needing the assistance of the Prince Regent Xiang Mingyu with various affairs.

But in the end, Xiang Chen steadfastly upheld the spirit of "The Emperor guards the gates of the kingdom, the king dies for the community."

On the high walls of Fengyuan, he took his own life to protect the citizens within the city.

What moved He Jia the most was Princess Yongle, Xiang Ke.

If Xiang Chen bore the responsibility of an emperor, then Xiang Ke lived a carefree life with everything taken care of for her, yet in the final moments, she chose to self-immolate, perishing with her enemies.

What immense courage and strong faith that was.

But they, in truth, shouldn't have had to bear so much.

Ye Wanlan was silent for a moment, then suddenly murmured, "Not necessarily."

If she could find the Time Administration Bureau and restructure the timeline, perhaps miracles could happen.

She must always hold onto hope.

"Aunt and teacher's situation is much better." Ye Wanlan withdrew her thoughts, "Since you are in a spiritual state, all you need is an appropriate physical body."

Xiang Mingyu's expression became slightly more serious: "I can't really be of much help, having or not having a body doesn't change that."

"What is Aunt saying?" Yan Shunhua smiled, "When you went into battle to kill enemies, I was still an infant in swaddling clothes."

"You really are sweet-talking." Xiang Mingyu glared at him, "But now, I'm also old."

"Aunt's skills are not old, the heroic spirit is still there." Ye Wanlan also laughed, "If it were your era, even brother would need to avoid your power."

At this moment, footsteps sounded, someone was coming.

"Ancestor." Xiang Shaoyu said respectfully, "The people from the Five Great Families have arrived, I request you to move to the front hall."

Ye Wanlan nodded to the others and walked outside.

Xiang Shaoyu inevitably felt a bit nervous.

After he woke up, he burned incense and bathed, making sure not to embarrass himself this time.

Ye Wanlan raised her hand to pat his shoulder, seemingly sighing: "Don't be so formal, nor so solemn, I've seen you many times with unwashed hair."

Xiang Shaoyu: "..."

Perhaps he should just die!

If he had known earlier that Ye Wanlan was the ancestor he admired so much, he would have made sure to wash his hair, and properly apply hair gel and jelly before going out!

As He Jia walked past Xiang Shaoyu, his voice faintly said: "You woke up quickly, continue practicing later."

He did recognize Xiang Shaoyu as the Young Master of the Xiang Family, after all, times make heroes, and now is an era of peace, unlike the tumultuous times when he was alive.

For Xiang Shaoyu to have such cultivation and vision, it was already not easy.

But he wasn't lying, Xiang Shaoyu's physique was too weak, he must train diligently.

Xiang Shaoyu again: "..."

He really wanted to roll his eyes and faint.

But in front of the two ancestors, he absolutely couldn't lose composure.

"Please, Ancestor, provide guidance." Xiang Shaoyu cupped his fists, "Shaoyu will definitely listen attentively and learn diligently, without disappointing Ancestor."

He Jia faintly acknowledged with a hum, following Ye Wanlan out together.

Xiang Shaoyu wiped the sweat off his forehead, barely managing to move his legs after a few seconds.

In the front hall, the higher-ups of the Xiang, Huo, Rong, Su, and Lin Families were all present.

Initially, upon hearing the Xiang Family Ancestor say the King of Yan was resurrected and that Ye Wanlan was Princess Yongning, they did not believe it at all.

Until this legendary brother and sister pair from history walked into the front hall with a natural aura of authority, only then did they finally believe somewhat.

Su Xueqing stammered, "No wonder Ah Lan... no, Her Highness knew the lost arts of the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique."

She didn't ask at the time, but she had many doubts in her heart, only she fully trusted Ye Wanlan.

But she never expected Ye Wanlan to be Princess Yongning!

Although Princess Yongning couldn't cultivate martial arts due to her inability to gather inner strength, she had a photographic memory and spent many days recuperating at the Taiyi Palace, so she naturally knew all of the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique.

"Xueqing, relax." Ye Wanlan's smile was calm, "I am still me, I won't change because of a change in identity."

She needed power, because she needed it to eliminate dissidents and to benefit Shenzhou.

But most of the time, she was just one among the multitude.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess!" The Great Elder of the Lin Family knelt down solemnly, kowtowing, "Please pardon me, Your Highness, if not for your timely intervention, my Lin Family... would have almost gone down an irreparable path!"

Since Ye Wanlan was Princess Yongning, many questions were explained.

Why she knew the Heavenly Music Method, and why she had the Primordial Lost Sound Zither.

She clearly could have used her identity to make a name, but she didn't.

She relied solely on her solid strength and skills to break apart the Five Great Families and reform them.

The Great Elder of the Lin Family was filled with shame, not daring even to raise his head.

"Great Elder, please rise." Ye Wanlan said, "The reason a leaf can obscure vision is because it directly covers the eyes, it's not your fault, as long as the Lin Family continues to uphold its duty of protecting Shenzhou."

"I will walk through fire and mountains of knives, no matter the cost!" The Great Elder of the Lin Family's eyes were red, "If I can die to atone, that would be a merit!"

"Everyone, I had no intention of revealing my identity, no matter how weighty it is, it's just an external matter." Ye Wanlan said slowly, "But with the impending war, it is necessary to boost morale, and it was only this morning that I successfully created a body for my brother."

Only then did everyone's gazes dare to fall upon He Jia, but they quickly looked away.

The reason was none other than He Jia's overly strong aura, with no restraint whatsoever, extremely sharp, making it impossible to look him in the eye.

"Before this, my brother was like a wandering spirit, seen only by those with peak Taoist cultivation aside from me." Ye Wanlan continued, "The other siblings were the same."

"!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

The Great Elder of the Huo Family gasped, trembling, "Miss Ye... no, does Her Highness mean Marshal Huo is here too?!"

The significance of the King of Yan to the Xiang Family was as vital as Huo Jingyu to the Huo Family, if not more so.

A young marshal, consecrated at sixteen.

He was the youngest Shence Army Commander-in-chief, also the Master of the Shen Wei Spear.

"Yes, Jing Feather is also here." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "The Sword Saint is here, Fanyin is here, they are all here."
